June 1st, 2010The Casio Keyboard Demo Song!
May 28th, 2010If you have seen my live show with any kind of frequency, then you have surely seen me tell my story about how my grandma got me started with music by buying me a Casio keyboard… and then i’ll “play” the demo song.
After my show at Lestats last night, Crunchy person Jerry sent me a link to this youtube video that someone posted with the exact keyboard in which I speak of with the demo song!

Terry Matsuoka- A New Episode of Yourself Presents!

Everyone seems to really like my gardening glove style and Joe’s action on the sampler fader.
Terry and Aaron Irwin at Fiesta De Los Penasquitos
May 2nd, 2010It was great! I had a show at Fiesta De Los Penasquitos… there were a couple of high school comedians introducing me with corny jokes. Then I see my childhood friend Willy Santos with a megaphone attached to his hip. We had fun dialogue- me with the stage PA system talking to him with his megaphone. Then coincidentally, my percussionist Aaron Irwin was playing on the same stage after me (we had no idea!)… so he joined me for my last few songs!
Anyhow, check out these two videos that I pulled from Willy’s website (www.willysantos.com). Willy is a world famous professional skateboarder. He has two skate shops in the San Diego area called Willy’s Workshop. Check them out sometime, they have some tight gear.

Terry at San Diego’s Got Talent
April 13th, 2010You can hear the crackle of the sound system and my guitar not agreeing somehow… Then the guitar cuts out completely. The sound guys were on it right away and put a mic in front of it. This is a fairly new song that I have not released yet.
